Name*

Hi Adrian,
I'm 66 years old. Female. I've always been athletic. Due to many years of running I have a bad back and spinal stenosis. I've gotten out of shape. I need to gain muscle and lose fat. I am 5ft 1 inches tall and weigh 127. My bmi is 24 and body fat is 36. How do I lose weight gain muscle and lose body fat without hurting my back. That has kept me from exercise.
Thanks

Hi there, I'm a 5 ft 5 in 17-yr-old female, and weigh in consistently at 104 lbs. I workout about four times per week for an hour or so, and was previously anorexic but still on a pretty strict eating schedule. I have defined upper abs/obliques but my mid-lower stomach could lose an inch or two of fat. I'm assuming this has to do with my diet, as I already do pretty hardcore ab workouts. Please advise. Thank you.

Hey guys, I'm 14 years old. I weigh 65 kg (last time I checked), 5'2 and have a waistline of 31 in. I'm going to a party after 2 weeks and need help to lessen my arms & belly fat .

Hi! I am 17 years old and 136pounds at 5'6" height. I work out up to 1-1:30 hours almost everyday and eat from 1200 to 1600 calories per day. I usually bike and do some work out at home. It has been almost a month since I committed to work out everyday and count my calories but I feel like I am not losing any weight. I want to be in shape and look like one of those Victoria Secret models! I want to lose 10-15 pounds and gain some muscles but not too much. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

if all you have is belly fat left then generally that is all you'll lose mostly

Hi, I'm Rebecca I am 12 my weight is 110 and my height is 5'2. I am curvy and I'm not fat except in my inner thigh and I want a space in between my thighs. I go jogging everyday and I've tried some workouts for my inner thighs but nothing seems to work... Do you have any ideas for what I can do?

I have hip displacement and I've been steadily (and undesirably) gaining weight. Now at the ripe old age of 35, I've never felt older, and I am 210 lbs at 5'. I recently bought a rowing machine at home and a stationary bike and I was referred to your website from a friend who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

What types of foods can I eat and what types of workouts should I do on a regular basis? My hips, during the cold/weird weather, hurt a lot, so I can't do a lot of walking/running.

I want to steadily lose 2lbs a week, and I've been drinking a lot more water than 3 years ago. I never broke the 185 weight barrier, and everytime I get close to the 185 mark, I would get upset with myself for not being able to get lower, and I would eat myself back to 200.

214 is the highest that I've ever been (weighed with clothes on), and I am in real need of help. Please help me! Thank you!

P.S. I have a trip in Vegas in 2 months and I want to lose a good 20 lbs before then. Thank you!

Hi Adrian!
I'm 13 years old, I'll be fourteen on the 17th of december. I'm 162 cm tall and I weigh 58 kg (it tends to fluctuate regularly and easily, so from one month to te next, I can go up or down about a kilo). I put on around 8 kilos when my Mul died last year, but I've had a growth spurt since, so I don't want to lose the 8 kilos, just 3-4. This is also so I can wear a bikini at the beach (we're going to a hot country at Easter) without feeling extremely self-conscious.
As a little girl, I had a BMI of 17,6, and seeing as it´s much higher now, I am a bit worried. Should I be?
Also, all my friends are much skinnier than me, which is quite worrying.
Obviously, I don't do the cooking so a diet isn't really an option for me, but I do eat mostly healthy organic food. Are there any particular exercises you could recommend?
Thanks a lot!

Hey Adrian. Thanks for your awesome site! I've been using it for a year now, and I've trimmed my size down a few inches but I haven't really lost more than 4-5lbs. I know I've gained muscle weight, but ideally I'd like to lose another 20lbs. I'm 5'2" and fluctuate b/w 138-140lbs these days. I'm 35 and do your exercises about 3-4 days a week and something light in between or a rest. I just don't know how to lose more weight! I switch up wheni seem to be plateauing...help!

I stumbled onto your site after searching and searching for something that will work for me. I am 42, 5'6" and almost 200lbs. I did the body fat percentage and just cried. How did this happen? I am scared but determined to do something so I can be around for my grandchildren someday. Your site has so much information; I'm a little overwhelmed and not sure where to start. Please help, and thank you for offering this to people.

I watch what i eat and still the weight is not coming off. Can I take Hydroxycut while on thyroid meds? This is getting very frustrating for me. PLEASE HELP!!!!
